With a name that evokes medieval imagery and a sense of urgency, Unleash The Archers formed as a band in Victoria, Canada in 2007 and have subsequently been developing a fanbase with the release of three full-lengths and one EP and by playing shows throughout North America. The band created a campaign on IndieGoGo to help cover the costs of their pro-shot video for "General of the Dark Army" which is approaching a million views on YouTube.

The band's combination of mythic subjects, melodic power metal guitar work, and Brittney Slayes's traditional lead vocals combined with harsh, male backing vocals are the staple of their brand of metal.

Brittney has mentioned in interviews that she is heavy into sci-fi and fantasy and that they were an influence on her writings. Maximum Metal decided to explore that a little deeper and asked her to come up with 10 items within those genres and how they may have tied into the band's material.

"I have always been a huge fan of any kind of sci-fi, fantasy and historical fiction; whether it be a book, a movie or a comic. The things I see and read definitely have a huge influence on what I write for UTA, so I thought I might give a list of my top ten, all-time favorites," says Brittney.

Unleash the Archers recently signed with metal label Napalm Records. Their new album 'Time Stands Still' will be available June 26th in Europe and July 7th in North America!
